Art and life: a continuum

I was invited to attend a viewing of the film Breath Made Visible about the life and work of Anna Halprin - I am getting several invitations to attend events these days, the next one is a lecture by Professor Vlatko Vedral at the Royal Society, where he will speak on quantum.
The Anna Halprin invite indicated that choreographer Joe Moran would introduce the film and then take questions from the audience. I know Joe personally, which is why I was doubly keen to attend. I knew about Anna Halprin before going to this event but seeing this movie has made me appreciate her even more. What a woman, what an artist.
There are incredible moments in the film, which charts her career over several decades and is a testament to her political engagement. There is footage from the 1950s and 1960s, when Anna began to work with African American communities and made dances some of which led to street performances. More recently, Anna has not hesitated to show her naked old body, celebrating its beauty, because growing old is natural, why should older bodies be shunned? the clip below shows her snippets of her very moving and poignant work.

Anna says something which really struck a chord with me (I may be slightly misquoting here, but this is the gist): "When I was younger I lived for art. Then I learnt to make art to live". Wonderful words.
There is no distinction between art and life. The two are intertwined.
